God, I love that shot of Paulie and Nucci sitting on the couch, quietly sharing a few moments together. Having just recently been diagnosed with cancer, Paulie is frightened out of his mind, so he goes to the only person who will offer him unconditional love and comfort, his Ma. It's a very emotional scene. 😢
@@SopranosBlueprint Hey SB, I just wanted to give a quick thank you for all the fun and entertainment that you've provided this year. I'm so glad that I've found your channel. Nobody does The Sopranos better than you. I wish you and yours a very Happy New Year!!! 🥳 🎉 And here's to more Sopranos Blueprint in 2024!!! Cent'anni!🥂
@@Nickyeyes The pleasure is truly all mine - love having this great community to connect with others who share a similar appreciation and passion for this amazing work of art (“All this harpin’ on art!!) 🥂 Salut’ and here’s to plenty more in 2024 💯💯
Ms Blueprint, thank you for your content! I know I've thanked you before, but I had to say it again. You've made this year fun for me, whatever happened there.
Thank you 😊 it’s fun putting the pieces together and comparing/contrasting these different experiences and situations. Particularly the complete contrast between Livia’s extreme opposition to Green Grove while Nucci was so grateful to Paulie.
@@SopranosBlueprint I'm watching it again for the 6th or 7th time, and all I do now is laugh! Stuff that shouldn't be funny is! Nobody can convince me this series is not a comedy!
Hard to know if this was intentional, but the color symbolism perhaps foreshadowed that Livia's resistance to Green Grove. Her name is derived from the Latin word for Blue (which mirrored her deep sadness and depression) would clash with green symbolizing hope and renewal. And it would seem with as much mayhem she dragged in with her she was determined to make Green Grove reflect her own morbid personality. I always thought that her request to Tony to "leave some [cookies] for the lunatics" captured her intent to create chaos. Ironically, Livia always appeared to wish for death in her own dark dated home but rebelled against Green Grove as a place where everyone was sent to die according to her. I could never grok this one...
@@TooLooze You just sent me down the rabbit hole! Ive been looking at closeups on Fandom...the paint shines and there doesn't seem to be any body damage from the pics. I would imagine that a brush job would be flat with with lines. I do know that Tony HATED that car though...he didnt want Janice to park it in his driveway :)
My Dad took one look at GreenGrove during the series and said he dreaded ever ending up there, singing songs by the Piano etc. He passed away in 2021 so he got his wish. Not that I would have put him or my ma in a nursing home I mean retirement home. Plus with Paulie killing Min, he was worried someone would come and whack him.
Right. Yeah I included it because of the fact that the whole reason Paulie was at Minn’s home was because of their little Green Grove group issues, which led Paulie to want to accompany them on outings to make sure Nucci was okay/not being bullied, then hearing about the money under the mattress and…well, we know the rest is history 😆
Ehh nursing homes have their value. My grandfather required 24/7 care basically and the one he went to was actually really nice. Yeah if my mother holds up health wise she is never going but if worse come to worse a good nursing home is perfectly fine
@@MossB87 I have no issues with nursing homes myself, just relaying what my dad said and felt on them when we watched Sopranos together. He meant it more in jest, but I could tell that he really didn't want to end up being in a home and doing stuff like singing at a piano.
My favorite part at Green Grove was an old man seeing Junior with Livia leading to this gem: "Oh! New arrival?" "Yeah, keep moving fella." The man sounded so irritated and offended 😂
When Janice talks about how Livia hated getting compliments “because then any minute, BOOM!” and “It’s like you’re saying to God, ‘See? You don’t fool me, asshole. I know what you’re planning.,’” I totally, totally feel that way!
Oedipus was a mythical Greek king of Thebes. A tragic hero in Greek mythology, Oedipus accidentally fulfilled a prophecy that he would end up killing his father and marrying his mother, thereby bringing disaster to his city and family. Captain vs King? Leotard or Tutu? It doesn't make a difference.
of all the things Paulie did I think him Laying into his Aunt just because She isn't His Mother was one of the Most Cruel. She may not have Been His Mother but she was Good to Him
100% agree. It was very cruel and all Nucci did was love Paulie and treat him like nothing less than a son. Whether or not she gave birth to him, he was totally and completely out of line with how he reacted.
Lol its Stephanies channel she can do what she likes! You don't want a narrator just watch the actual show don't watch a RUclips channel that discusses the show!
Happy New Year young lady. You helped me close the old one out with this one. I love your intuitive insight. Gotta admit, for a fictional TV show, it sure has a lot of philosophical leanings. I never would have noticed much of it, without your particular analysis. Ciao. Heeey.. 🤌
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the comment - knowing I can put something positive and insightful into the world and improve someone’s day/make others think is a true joy in itself. Cheers to many, many, many more, and thanks again! ☺️😃
AJ was responsible for the hit attempt on Tony. 😂
Right?! And then he mentions the DNR early the next season, too!

Very, very emotional. And with the wind and everything…one of those extra special goosebumps-inducing Sopranos moments. ♥️♥️♥️

Shows the quality of the writing, by making the viewer feel sympathy for someone who just smothered an old lady earlier in the program.

@@murraykelm5691 Definitely. Great writing acting, directing. It’s like the Jonas Salk of TV shows.
Captain Tibes was one of my favorite characters. I wish they had done more with him and his hotel chain.
Right?! I was so excited to see those other corner suites of his that Mrs. DeCaprio was offering. I’ll take a pass on that Titanic trip, though.
"I don't know, that's the point" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well, we're anonymous.
Phil, it’s the guy’s mother.
@@SopranosBlueprint but say least that Barone kid paid for Nucci's stay there 👍

@@SopranosBlueprint For sure.

Yes!! “Even the coffee’s old in here.” 😆😆 What a great line!!! 🔥🔥 “How much complaining can ya do? Eventually, they find you with a broken hip.”
true
She was abusive to the staaaaaffffff!!
Probably to that activities lady especially! 😂
@@SopranosBlueprint 😂😂
Livia was abusive to the staff!!
Even after they gave her fresh towels everyday!!
How could you cheat on Carmella? I’d give anything to be her decorator.
Give me one thousand kisses
The older i get the more i genuinely like Livia, how crazy is that
When Janice talks about how Livia hated getting compliments “because then any minute, BOOM!” and “It’s like you’re saying to God, ‘See? You don’t fool me, asshole. I know what you’re planning.,’” I totally, totally feel that way!
Your videos seem to be the most accurate, so thank you, don’t get me started in Sopranos Theories, that fucking guy
Great video, when I first watched the show, I always wanted them to go back to the Capauno murder.
Capuano
Poooo, that hairpiece motherf%£er!
wiggling trees/bushes = ya done good
like magic garden's chuckle patch
Oh, you're good. Real good.
Thanks, Ton’ 😉😉
@@SopranosBlueprint A salut, kid. I'll take care a' everything.
Paulie has some nerve here is a woman who raised him and he treats her like that he knew he was wrong that's y he came back and just sat there
He was totally and completely out of line here - 10000% agree with you!
You see a seeing eye dog here? Cup full of pencils?
Who’s the hero now, boys???
I want to live at Green Grove
Who is he?
I thought it was the activities lady, she’s a real pain in the ass.
Oedipus was a mythical Greek king of Thebes. A tragic hero in Greek mythology, Oedipus accidentally fulfilled a prophecy that he would end up killing his father and marrying his mother, thereby bringing disaster to his city and family.
Captain vs King? Leotard or Tutu? It doesn't make a difference.
Livia was the real gangster. That old lady made an asshole out of Junior.
Thank goodness Maria Nucci had blue-cross blue Shield for that accident. What ever happened there…
I know, otherwise, oh, madon’! By the way, they don’t eat snails, do they?!
@@SopranosBlueprint eat your scones, I’ll straighten it out ❤️
of all the things Paulie did I think him Laying into his Aunt just because She isn't His Mother was one of the Most Cruel.

This is some bullshit just play the scenes
Your comment is bullshit. If you want to just see the scenes, why are you watching an analysis channel?
Just watch the show.
We don't need a narrator,some people on RUclips are so narcissistic 🙄
Lol its Stephanies channel she can do what she likes! You don't want a narrator just watch the actual show don't watch a RUclips channel that discusses the show!
Some of my best friends are narcicists.
Like you? Don't watch the video also no one cares about your opinion
Just go watch the show, what are you even doing here then 😂
